This is why I have very little social media and zero contact with 97% of my familyPeachesnstuff wrote: »Receiving a very nasty text about how my niece is in the hospital and I haven't expressed any "concern" or "reached out via text" to check on her.
Ok. Hear me out. NOBODY contacted me regarding this. My SIL response to this was - it's ALL over social media! Ohhhh, I see. Well, I'm not all over social media, and if you cared one *kitten* ounce about my feelings you would have picked up the *kitten* phone and informed me. WHY do I need FB/SC/Twitter to keep me in the loop. And why are you so hell bent on posting pictures of her in her hospital gown on social media. YOU are the very reason I don't have social media anymore.
End rant.
PS. I love me niece dearly, and she's totally ok.
PS2. I despise her mother
I’m glad she’s OK4 -

Than you ♥️
I'm getting to the point in my life where I'm over being the family peace keeper. It's utterly exhausting, and has done more harm to me than I care to admit.
I've walked away from so many toxic people in my life but thought that family was family. Unfortunately, I'm realizing that they don't have the same morals and values that I have. And it's time to start distancing myself from these relationships that cause me more stress and anxiety.
Would you like to come for Thanksgiving? I'll be sitting this one out this year....I feel a cold coming on

Yikes! So she can text you to berate you but not to let you know your niece is sick??? Clearly there's something wrong with her priorities what a *kitten*. Maybe you need to change your number and forget to let her know since she only seems to communicate important things through social media.2 -

This would be great in an ideal world. The last time I confronted her, my brother didn't speak to me for 4 years. My brother is more important than any revenge.
He has to sleep with her every night, not me.

Heretofore I have successfully turned Thanksgiving into a stay at home event with just my nuclear family. Having kids was great for this. We eat, we bake, we play games, we watch movies.Peachesnstuff wrote: »TwitchyMagee wrote: »

Suddenly this year everyone’s coming out of the woodwork trying to get me to “reconnect.” Not only are they gossipy and judgemental, but they are also boring as beige.
I say: No to dressing “nicely.” No to watching football. No to divisive politics. No to sitting in a stuffy, overheated house. No to passive aggression & humble bragging. No no no. How is it even a holiday when it’s that terrible terrible?
My kids are old enough that if they want to go I will arrange that for them, but it’s a no for me.

I prefer to just gather with my immediate fam as well - I’d really prefer just to go to Applebees or some other restaurant than cooking - this year I am going to my bros - my mom and dad will be there - and we generally all get along - but I’d much prefer just going to a restaurant coming home watching the cowboys alone and napping lol

Hopefully you can just communicate through your brother. Man in laws suck2 -

Ok. Hear me out. NOBODY contacted me regarding this. My SIL response to this was - it's ALL over social media! Ohhhh, I see. Well, I'm not all over social media, and if you cared one *kitten* ounce about my feelings you would have picked up the *kitten* phone and informed me. WHY do I need FB/SC/Twitter to keep me in the loop. And why are you so hell bent on posting pictures of her in her hospital gown on social media. YOU are the very reason I don't have social media anymore.
End rant.
PS. I love me niece dearly, and she's totally ok.
PS2. I despise her mother
Yikes! So she can text you to berate you but not to let you know your niece is sick??? Clearly there's something wrong with her priorities what a *kitten*. Maybe you need to change your number and forget to let her know since she only seems to communicate important things through social media.
This would be great in an ideal world. The last time I confronted her, my brother didn't speak to me for 4 years. My brother is more important than any revenge.
He has to sleep with her every night, not me.
ETA - if only I was AS important to my brother.
Ooooh it's a sister in law. I have one of those to whom I am the devil because I reach out and she doesn't reply yet I'm supposed to keep doing so?
Hopefully you can just communicate through your brother.

Why didn't your brother let you know?
Because the sil is the "messenger"
probably because like in many cis het couples keeping track of holidays and birthdays and doctors appointments and everything else falls to the woman whether she’s good at it or not.

I’m glad she’s OK
Than you ♥️
I'm getting to the point in my life where I'm over being the family peace keeper. It's utterly exhausting, and has done more harm to me than I care to admit.
I've walked away from so many toxic people in my life but thought that family was family. Unfortunately, I'm realizing that they don't have the same morals and values that I have. And it's time to start distancing myself from these relationships that cause me more stress and anxiety.
Would you like to come for Thanksgiving? I'll be
sitting this one out this year....I feel a cold coming
on
Suddenly this year everyone’s coming out of the woodwork trying to get me to “reconnect.” Not only are they gossipy and judgemental, but they are also boring as beige.
I say: No to dressing “nicely.” No to watching football. No to divisive politics. No to sitting in a stuffy, overheated house. No to passive aggression & humble bragging. No no no. How is it even a holiday when it’s that terrible terrible?
My kids are old enough that if they want to go I will arrange that for them, but it’s a no for me.

I mean, I’ll put on pants if we can define the word loosely
No pants allowed!1 -
